anybody crazy defensive million pride proud
I'm a proud defensive player. I'm not going to let anybody go crazy on me. I've got more pride than that, just having someone go off for a million points.
abuse dirty downright people playing thrilled
I'm thrilled that I'm getting back to playing the way I play, downright dirty and nasty. When I get people down in the post, I'm going to abuse them and score.
sit
I know this is what he would want me to do. He wanted me to be successful. He wouldn't want me to sit at home.
coach ego learn needs prepared situation soak whatever
I'm just going into the whole situation with no ego. I'm going to be prepared to learn from Coach Brown, soak up as much as I can. My whole thing is whatever he needs from me to make us a better team, I'm going to do.
coach compete defeat listen points
It's tough, but not 28 points tough. That's defeat. I know we had a lot of turnovers, we have a lot of young players. Other than that, we just have to compete and listen to what coach says.
ugly
It was ugly. It was a low-scoring, ugly game.
defense stopping
The thing is, we're concentrating on defense and stopping teams. That to me is making a big difference.
losing lost
I've lost before, but it's the way we're losing now that hurts.
believe brought none reason talked
I don't have any reason to believe that he won't be back. I haven't talked to anybody, but none of us has even brought up the possibility that he wouldn't be back.
looking progress results time tough
I don't even really know what's going on and why we can't win. It's weird. It's like you feel like you make some progress but at the same time we don't get the results that we're really looking for. That's a tough thing.
bad care explain feels horrible losing season team
I can't even explain it, man. I've had a horrible season but I'm going to come out and play hard. You can tell I want to win, you can tell I care about the way we're losing and the whole situation. It just feels bad because you don't feel that the whole team feels that way.
either staying
For me, it is what it is. Either you're staying or you're going.
both game ugly
It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.
felt stiff time
I just felt it was getting more stiff as time went on.
